Current Issue
Contemporary constitutionalism is undergoing a period of profound reflection on its foundations, limits, and transformative potential. In this context, the intersection between constitutionalism and feminism constitutes one of the most relevant and transformative debates in contemporary legal thought, emerging as one of the most fertile and necessary fields for rethinking the legal and political frameworks that organize our democratic societies. This special issue addresses precisely this confluence, demonstrating that feminism does not constitute a sectoral or thematic perspective to be added externally to traditional constitutionalism, but rather a transformative epistemological and political perspective that can and must profoundly and systematically renew constitutional theory and practice as a whole.
At a historical moment in which constitutional democracies face multiple internal and external challenges—from authoritarianism to the ecological crisis, from extreme inequalities to fundamentalisms—feminist constitutionalism offers indispensable conceptual, methodological, and practical tools for building more just, egalitarian, and sustainable societies. Feminist constitutionalism is not only an emerging academic field among others, but an urgent and imperative democratic necessity in societies that seriously aspire to make effective, verifiable, and universal the principles of equality, human dignity, and social justice solemnly proclaimed in their constitutions.
